Here Come The Boots On The Ground: US Troops Heading To Eastern Europe

Not being military myself, How long would it take to make a decision to perform exercises in Europe, then get all the troops and every thing else that
is need to station them there, we are talking 600 troops at the moment, at the moment, at the moment...

What will Putin think, Go ahead feller's it's only exercises, were doing the same thing on the Ukraine border. yeah right.

600 U.S. TROOPS HEADING TO EUROPE FOR EXERCISES: PENTAGON
U.S. AIRBORNE TROOPS GOING TO POLAND, LITHUANIA, LATVIA,ESTONIA
U.S. MILITARY EXERCISES ARE IN RESPONSE TO UKRAINE CRISIS:KIRBY
MORE MILITARY EXERCISES 'COMING THROUGH' NATO: PENTAGON

Our government and those of a few EU nations created this crisis, much as they always do, so they can then present the "solution". They backed and
supported a pro-western coup in the country against the elected government, and no one is talking about that.

mainstream on " the plane disappeared into a black hole channel "
lol, CNN for those with no sense of haha

Top US diplomat for Europe Victoria Nuland acknowledged in an interview with CNN Tuesday that Washington had allocated $5 billion to support democracy
in Ukraine since the fall of the Soviet Union in 1991.
“That money has been spent on supporting the aspirations of the Ukrainian people to have a strong, democratic government that represents their
interests,” the US Assistant Secretary of State for Europe and Eurasian Affairs said in an interview.

And then they brainwashed and paid the vast majority of Ukrainians people and then got Yanukovych's own government to kick him out ?

Righttttt

Let's ignore NATO has turned down Ukraine's wishes to join NATO and the people revolted when yanukovch turned down closer ties with the EU, let's
just ignore all that and go with the massive pro Russian support and armed groups with Russian issues kit side of the story

Huge support in the East of Ukraine

Meanwhile just down the road

It's clear as day... There wasn't much backing needed to help Ukraine like the rest of the Eastern block break free from there previous brutal
rulers

First of all, that first picture of yours is a complete joke. You can find dozes pictures of just how many "pro-Russian"( or how I like to call
them, anti-Nato protesters) protesters were there before all the shootings started.

Yea, what a brutal leader Yanuckovich really was. Same as Gaddaffi i guess?
You people have no shame. Why did NATO step in? Because a GOVERNMENT OFFICIALS were doing their job and stopping terrorists from killing people? I
will ask you to remember who were the first one to start all of this. I will help you. It wasn't the government. NATO and USA had no business there.
But they got involved, and as always where they come, they bring nothing more than death.

As a
For your coup claims, Yanukovych's own party, the party of regions and The Ukrainian parliament voted on 22 February to remove him

Coup or conspiracy ?

Relations between Ukraine and North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) started in 1994.[1] Ukraine is as of January 2008 a candidate to join the NATO
Membership Action Plan (MAP).[2][3] On December 3, 2008 NATO decided it will work out an Annual National Programme of providing assistance to Ukraine
to implement reforms required to accede the alliance without referring to MAP.[4] Plans for Ukrainian membership to NATO were shelved by Ukraine
following the 2010 Ukrainian presidential election in which Viktor Yanukovych was elected President.

It's not hard to see that the majority of Ukraine want, and have wanted for some time now closer ties with the EU and seeked NATO membership previous
to Yanukovych stepping into office, people need to look beyond maidan as it doesn't even tell you half the story...

When they had elected Yanuckovich for their president, they knew what his politics was. But still they voted for it. Oh wait, let me guess. It was the
evil russians pointing guns on people's head, making them vote for him? Sure.

For me it is hard to see how did you jumped to a conclusion that majority of Ukraine wants to join NATO? Was there a referendum hold? No, so how do
you know this information and what are your sources?

And secondly, Russia has fully rights to send their troops at their borders. But on the other hand, who allowed NATO to do so? Or they can do anything
they want, because they are more powerful than the international law?

You're just heart broken because you have lost your Ukrainian slaves run away..

I never said Yanukovych was a brutal dictator, I just said he favours closer ties with the country of his mother birthplace

I just said up until his questionable election as president Ukraine had previously seeked closer ties with the EU and NATO since the fall of the
"brutal Soviet Union"

NATO has an open door policy alway has always will anybody is free to join although they may not be granted membership as Ukraine wasn't because of
Russia's deep Infiltration in Ukraine's government

How far do you want to go back into Ukraine's enslavement to Moscow and the Russian empire Nikola?

NATO had no business where?, talking to and sticking up for its neighbours? Russia does business everywhere.. what makes you think Russia is so
special and that it can tell country's who they can and can't talk to? Russia new full well how the people of Ukraine felt about there treatment over
many years from Russia is it really any wonder that Russia was so adamant that Ukraine was to "speak to no one"?

That's exactly the problem here, that's what Ukraine is sick off, being under Russia's boot and Moscow's control, isn't it? this is why Ukraine wants
out.. Because of its hundreds of years enslavement by the Russian empire and the Soviet Union isn't it?.. Ukraine HAS seeked closer ties to the EU and
requested NATO membership, before the Oblast Donetsk born son to a Russian mother Yanukovych tried to sell out the vast majority of his people...

yanukovych was a Russian backed puppet put in power for the sole purpose of stopping Ukraine's interests to closer ties to the EU and ultimately NATO
membership

The United States will send about 600 U.S. troops to Poland and the three Baltic states to take part in exercises in the coming days to reassure NATO
allies following Russia's seizure of the Crimean region from Ukraine, the Pentagon said on Tuesday.

Rear Admiral John Kirby, a top Defense Department spokesman, said the bilateral exercises planned for Poland, Latvia, Lithuania and Estonia were in
addition to the regular training schedule the U.S. military has with those countries and were added due to the events in Ukraine.

"The United States takes seriously our obligations under Article 5 of the NATO alliance, even though these aren't NATO exercises,'' Kirby said.
"It's a very tangible representation of our commitment to our security obligations in Europe."

Earlier on Tuesday, Ukraine's acting president called for an anti-terrorist operation to be relaunched in the east of the country after the body of a
local politician from his own party was found showing signs of torture.

When they had elected Yanuckovich for their president, they knew what his politics was. But still they voted for it. Oh wait, let me guess. It was the
evil russians pointing guns on people's head, making them vote for him? Sure.

No your misleading my friend

When Yanukovych was elected it was not for closer ties with Russia HTH

When Yanukovych effectively ended all talks, and began to cosy up with Russia the people rebelled and so did his OWN government/parliament against him

What does this tell you?

Oh that's right that the evil western world brainwashed the people of Ukraine and Ukraine's government
